Fork in the Road

Skipping down life's road one day    
Whistling in a merry old way    
Came to a fork in the road    
Couldn't choose, so I followed the toad    
   
He hopped down a slippery slope    
Jumped off a bridge, swung on a rope    
I was close behind    
Thinking I'm out of my mind    
   
He slowed, and paused on a rock    
Turned around I stopped my walk    
"Why are you following me    
Don't you have somewhere to be?"    
   
I didn't know what to do    
I followed this frog without a clue    
Now we're here, in this lonely  place    
Lost, in the middle of this space    
   
Seems I have to leave this toad    
Return back to the fork in the road    
And think about the options for me    
Think about who I want to be    
   
Next time I have a choice    
I'll stop and listen to my inner voice    
Weigh the cost and benefit    
And choose my advantage without prejudice  
Making that direction definite!
